What breeds do Shelties get along with?

My two get along with most dogs, especially bigger ones. The only ones that they are a bit weary of are Yorkies! (but that's because they met one that was very territorial and a bit aggressive towards them, so now they shy away from them) Their favourite bigger dogs are border collies though.

 

Cracking up here!!!

 

Don't let your BF discount the Standard Poodle. This is a much mis-aligned breed. This is no fi-fi dog. See pic below.

If I wanted a larger dog, I think this would be my most likely no. 1 pick. I've never met a Standard that I did not like. Easily trained and low maintenance. And in motion, they are a beauty to watch.

p.s. I wish the kennel clubs would abandon the lion cut for poodles. It totally undermines the dog as a breed. I would SO love a rebel shower to introduce an un-clipped poodle into the show ring!

Barb - I think a lot of the mis-conceptions about poodles come from the toy breed. I personally would never own a poodle. My sister in-law had one and I hated it and I'm a dog person! It was yappy all the time, it was dumb as a box of rocks and in general a total pain in the butt. I have never known anyone that has owned a standard poodle. Maybe I would like the standards but I can't stand toy poodles or the medium sized ones, that's what my sister in-law had and I don't know the correct name for them - sorry!

 

oh it gets better.. lol he was just eh about all the pitbulls till he saw this one little grey one.. and BAM he fell in love... got so excited if you kno what i mean...

My husband had a Standard Poodle that was a lush. Pierre used to push the liquor bottles in the basement bar off the shelf onto the floor and lap up the contents. You've got to love that!

 

ROTFLMAO!
